Memory Leak in Excel

C

Claus Zimmermann

Hi

I have a BAD memory leak when I copy a chart... even a blank chart to
another worksheet. It eventually causes excel to crash.

In my example, the sequence to crash excel was as follows:
- Copy Chart 5000 times (loop) - less times would work too, and you'd
see the increase in private bytes as you go along
- Copy method of range class failed
- Clicked End button on debug message box
- Closed Excel
- Message: The picture is too large and will be truncated
- Excel.exe - Application error. The instruction at "0x300dc756"
referenced memory at "0x000000008". The memory could not be read.

I'm using Excel 2000 sp3

To test memory I'm using perfmon, and am testing private bytes in Excel.

Any suggestions or a workaround?

Sample macro available illustrating this on request.
